that aside from state bonds this is the most
favorable sale of the kind ever made in

SpringiieldS credit and the transaction may

the splendid financial standing acquired by

of such catastrophe, and might be made

the dressing-bag an ounce vial of sat

for few cents, and put half dozen
drops into u tumbler of the drinking
water that is supplied. If it turns

Fir Pillows.

Now that pillows made OF the
"spills" or foliage of the balsam fir
tree, (dbies 6alSGmea) are considered
not only fashionable, but highly bene-
fetal in the treatment of many all
ments, such as insomnia, nervousness,
headache, catarrh, and lung diseases,
etc., it may be well. to know how best
to prepare the green spills. The bal
sam fir or balm-of-gilead fir, from
which is obtained the Canada balsam,
should not be confounded with other
species of the conifer@ of like appear
ance-a mistake that is easily made,
as the resinous perfume of the differ
ent spruce trees is almost as delic-
iously fragrant, if not so lasting, or
of SO much value incidentally, as that
| of the balm fir. 1t is also rather diff
cult to distinguish the difference, as to
foliage, between the balm fir and the
other spruce trees; the leaves OF the
former are in two rows on either side
of the branchlets; those of the latter
are scattered irregularly around the
stems. The spills may be collected at
any season.
In midsummer, at ultra-fashionable
Bar Harbor, and other Maine resorts,
the modern belle, with an armful OF
fir branches is no unusual sight, while
| the fastidious beau may be seen, on a
rainy, Or foggy afternoon, on the hotel,
or cottage piazza, smudging his deli
cate fingers with turpentine, as he
helps some fair lady to ''pull" fir bal
sam-"pulling parties they are called
way down in Maine. Again, in the
autumn or winter, the "native" lad and
lassie may be seen 'lugging" home an
evenings pulling of balm twigs,
which, when nicely dried, will be sent
to the city shops, or sold next summer
to the 'rusticator." The spills, and
the entire tender green shoots at the
ends of the twigs are plucked while
fresh and crisp, from the stems; il
they are allowed to dry on the
branches, much Of their delicious fra
GRANGE is lost. They are spread to dry
in perfectly dry place. Care mus
be taken that no moisture collects OF

His Opinion of BIr. oieveland-The
Flags and the Tariff.

CHICAGO. July 2T.-Ex-Senator
Joseph q. Mcdonald, of Indiana, was
In the citv and was seen by q reporter.
He said: ''I am out Of politics now,

HAbout the outlook for 1888, think
that the majority of the Democratic
editors of the State favor Prsident
Cleveland's denomination. He has
made good record during his admin
istration. He is thoroughly con-
seientious man, and I.don't think he
has done a single thing to curry favor

considers right, let the consequences
be what they may.
"Well, about those flags, there was a
misunderstanding. Idon't believe the

the question was raised, and then he
promptly rectified it. He will un-

THE OPIUM HABIT.
Experience ofa Young French Officer
With the Hurtful Drug.

WIN the hurC1Ul DFuX.
London Daily Telegraph
There is at present in the Hospital of
the Charity young gnon-commissioned
officer, as he would be called in Eng
land, who is undergoing treatment as a
victim to opium smoking. The soldier
who is man of education, has given a
remarkable account of his experiences
as an opium smoker. He says that
while in Tonquin or Cochin China, one
of the French Generals caused an
order to be issued against the use of
the drug, and this very prohibition was
the means of making several men try
opium smoking through curiosity
The non-commissiOned officer went
with some comrades to the smoking
saloon of a village. There woman
came to him and filled a long pipe
with small ball of what appeared to
be thick brown syrup, made as con-
sistent as wax. This the soldier was
pressed to take, and, placing its bowl
over lamp which was alight, he in
hailed what seemed to be the fumes OF
sugar and burnt apples. He was at
first rendered i'll, but after a second
pipe was plunged into the ecstatic

laire and M. Paul Bonnetain. He
seemed to float into q bath of luke.
warm milk, and memories that had
long lain buried passed clearly through
his Imagination. He recollected for.
gotten melodies, snatches of songs and
extracts from favorite authors; but
when he awoke from the reverie he
was perspiring with pain and fear.
After this he kept up the habit fol
six months, smoking thirty grammeE
of opium on the day of his departure
for France. The man at present looks
rather livid, and his general appearance
is that of a person who has been para
lyzed. 1t is expected, however, tina
he will be brought round by the treat
ment of the hospital physicians. M
Anatole France, who has asked tn,
man for statement Of his experiences
says that at the present moment ther'
is an opium saloon in Montmartre. I
is chiefly frequented by young artist
and sculptors, and he himself was al
lowed by special permission to enter {
private room, where he saw, stretched
on divan, lank and livid, one of tn,
best known sculptors in Paris, who was
slowly poisoning himself with opium
owing to the death of his wife, whose
vision he was able to conjure up amit
the fumes of the deleterious drug.

The Difference.

There is radical difference between
the two great parties concerning the
delegation of authority under our form
of Government. 1t is very great mis-
take to declare in the language of a
recent issue of the N. Y World that
at is true that no direct issue based on
a great principle now exists as between
the Democratic and Republican par
ties" The Star very promptly and
pointedly corrects the World by stat
ing q few truths which every Demo-
crat should remember. Democrats be-
lieve that the people authorize public
servants to exercise certain control and
authority for the general good. Re-
publicans are in. conformity to the
theory that the Government permits to
the people certain privileges which it
thinks it safe for them to have. One
doctrine is that power goes from the
people up. The opposite practice is
that it proceeds down from the ruler
call it monarch, legislature, central
authority, or what you will. One kind
of government is Democracy. The
other, miscalled Republicanism, is, in
fact, absolutism, whether the despot be

minority assembled as a mob. Never
in our history has 1t been more neces-
sary or more helpful to sedulously OBJ
serve the basis of difference between
Democracy and Republicanism than ii
is to-day. The prosperity of the coun-
try, the settlement Of the labor question
and of the land question, the adjust
ment of the problems of taxation
license andregdlation, and our safety
against monopoly, fanaticism and
anarchy, all depend on conformity by
the powers that be with, those Demo
cratic principles. 'tai ',s la

Ok FRIDAY the Cabinet agreed to
forward to London, by the outgoing

statement regarding the Hawaiian
Governments position with regard to
the portion of the two million loan
